3 BEM of 12 REFUGEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) determines immigration status. If the status of a refugee cannot be verified through immigration documents, contact the local resettlement agency that provided for the refugee's initial resettlement. Individuals with the following statuses may be eligible for /MA: Refugee or Asylee. An individual from any country admitted into the U.S. with the status of refugee or asylee.

Telephone contact with the ORR trafficking verification line at verifying the validity of the letter(s). Note: No other immigration documents are necessary for victims of trafficking. DATE OF ENTRY USCIS determines an individual's date of entry into the U.S. and enters it on the I-94 or other immigration document. This USCIS determination is not subject to the MDHHS fair hearing process. For asylees, acceptable alien status begins on the date asylum is granted on the I-94, or on the Asylum Approval letter, regardless of arrival date.

Bridges determines FIP and MA eligibility when a / recipient reports a change that indicates potential for FIP or MA eligibility for (example when an recipient becomes pregnant). eligibility factors are listed in BEM 209, Cash Assistance General Requirements and in BEM 245, School Attendance and Student Status. recipients who are not eligible for MA are automatically eligible for. Note: Excess income for MA resulting in a deductible is not considered MA eligible. See EXTENDED MEDICAL COVERAGE in this item about when may be extended. Note: An ex parte review (see Glossary) is required before a Medicaid closure when there is an actual or anticipated change; unless the change would result in closure due to ineligibility for all Medicaid categories. When possible, an ex parte review should begin at least 90 days before the anticipated change is expected to result in case closure. The review includes all consideration of all MA categories; see BAM 115, Application Processing and BAM 220, Case Actions.
6 BEM of 12 REFUGEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Note: A full-time student in post-secondary education is not eligible for or. The school determines full-time enrollment and attendance; see BEM 245, School Attendance and Student Status. Group Composition See BEM 215 for group composition policy. See BEM 216, Group Composition, for refugees who are not eligible for MA. FINANCIAL ELIGIBILITY FACTORS Assets Use FIP policy in BEM 400 to evaluate assets. Note: The following are special asset rules: Do not consider the assets of a refugee s sponsor in determining the refugee s eligibility. Cash assistance given to a refugee from a resettlement agency is not an asset. Use policy in BEM 400 to evaluate assets. See EXTENDED MEDICAL COVERAGE in this item Income Follow income policy in BEM 500. Income eligibility exists when net income of individuals with a EDG status of eligible or disqualified is less than the needs of the
7 BEM of 12 REFUGEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM certified group (CG). uses the same payment standard as FIP; see RFT 210. Only Income eligibility exists when net income does not exceed the income limit of Group 2 Medicaid categories. Do not count any income received by the refugee from a refugee resettlement agency or the refugee s sponsor. Apply policy in BEM 546 if an eligible person is an L/H individual. If net income exceeds the income limit, eligibility is still possible using policy in BEM 545. See EXTENDED MEDICAL COVERAGE in this item for recipients who lose eligibility due to excess income. Income and Assets at Application At application, determine eligibility based on the group s income and assets on the date of application. Bridges uses policy in BEM 536 to determine the group's net income. Do not prospect income from a source if no income has been received by the date of application. Example: The Smith family applies on November 6, Mr. Smith has started a job but has not received his first paycheck. Do not prospect any earned income for Mr. Smith in determining initial eligibility. Income and Assets After Application After initial eligibility has been established for or MA, exclude recipient's earned income and assets for determination. Example: Mr. Smith (example above) reports receiving his first paycheck on November 7, These earnings are not counted to determine initial or ongoing eligibility.
8 BEM of 12 REFUGEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM EXTENDED MEDICAL COVERAGE Bridges will continue or initiate coverage for refugees when all of the following are true: eligibility is lost due to excess earned income or assets. Members are within eight months of their date of entry into the U.S. or date asylum was granted. Members are not eligible for MA or MI Child. Do not require a new application; see Benefit Periods in this item. Termination Bridges will only terminate for a group member who is either of the following: No longer meets the MA eligibility factors found in BEM 220, Residence. Becomes eligible for MA. STANDARD OF PROMPTNESS Approve or deny an application for and mail the individual a notice within 30 days from the date of application; see BAM 115 for all other application processing policies. BENEFIT PERIODS Bridges sets the benefit period based on date(s) of entry. Specialists must follow-up to remove each group member whose eligibility ends before the benefit period end date. Bridges automatically stops benefits effective the month when the last group member has been in the U.S. for eight months.
9 BEM of 12 REFUGEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Bridges sets the redetermination date based on date(s) of entry. Note: An ex parte review (see Glossary) is required before a MA closure when there is an actual or anticipated change, unless the change would result in closure due to ineligibility for all Medicaid categories. When possible, an ex parte review should begin at least 90 days before the anticipated change is expected to result in case closure. The review includes consideration of all MA categories; see BAM 115 and 220. Benefit Issuance recipients receive a MiHealth card. Covered services for are the same as in Medicaid.
